I'm back in Toquerville today and I ran 2 miles with my oldest boy Tavin ridding his bike along side of me.  He told my wife that I didn't run very fast, I just jogged!

Our instructors told us the run was 3.2 miles and they gave us 35 minutes to complete it.  We completed the run in 35 minutes, but it ended up being 4.1 miles.  Oh well, It felt really good.

We did a two hour workout that only included a half mile run.  It ended up being the hardest half mile I have felt in a long to though!!!

Just another quick A.M. run in Sandy Utah, we ran up near the mountain again and we had a beautiful view of the whole valley.

This was a tougher run because we had to do sit-ups, push-ups and air squats in between every half mile run.

We ran near the South Jordan river(? I think).  It was 99 degrees and running on the track next to the river made it very humid and miserable.  It was still nice to get in three miles.

We ran the 50-40-30-20-10 run again.  50 push-ups 50 sit-ups, 50 squats then a half mile run, repeated after each run and decreasing the reps by ten after each run.  We did everything in 40 minutes.  I was near the front of our class and I felt like I was going to die afterwords.

We did our final PT test today and when I head back to Toquerville I will never have to come up here again.  My mile and a half time was 11:03 with a majority of it being up hill.
